George Gandy, Director of Athletics at Loughborough University and former GB
Olympic Team Coach, received the 2008 BAWA Ron Pickering Memorial Award for
Services to Athletics at their annual dinner last October.
George has coached over 75 international athletes in the past 30 years, most
notably Sebastian Coe while he was a student at the university.
Seb joined Jean and Shaun Pickering on stage at the presentation of the award
and paid tribute to the conditioning work that George had given him that
provided the basis for much of what he achieved. "It was quite revolutionary
stuff," he said. |
